SSOC Tohban Report for Week 01 (4 - 8 January 1995) KSC: K. Yaji SSOC: H. Hara, L. Harra 1. Solar Activity------------------------------------------------------------- Solar activity was low again this week, with activity reaching above C level on 2 occasions. 2. Standard Operations-------------------------------------------------------- 2.1 SXT Table Uploads DATE TABLE ID 4-Jan 950104 P2 DARKCAL 6-Jan 950106 P1 SATURDAY 6-Jan 950106 P4 SATURDAY1 8-Jan 951018 P1 ARS0+FILA 8-Jan 950108 P3 ARS1+dark 2.2 STT Timer Set STT timer was set on January 3. 3. Errors and Problems-------------------------------------------------------- 3.1 BCS error BCS MEM CHK SUM error was discovered in pass 1 on 4-Jan (950103-1341) and was recovered the next day in pass 3, 5-Jan (950104-1445). 3.2 SXT bitmap errors SXT bitmap error was discovered on 950105-1239, and was recovered in the same pass. SXT bitmap error was also discovered in pass 950106-1156 and recovered in the next pass. 3.3 Computer Problems at KSC KSC had many computer problems this week - just before pass 2 on 6-Jan-95 (950105-1342), S3500 was down. SXT table upload which was due for pass 2 was stopped. In pass 4 of the same day A400 was also down, so the data could not be downloaded. In pass 5 the backup system for A400 was started up. Fujitsu say that the problem with S3500 lies in the CPU board... S3500 was not fixed on Friday, and hence the status of SXT errors could not be determined. The SXT extra support was provided at ISAS by N.Nitta. S3500 was fixed on Saturday. 3.4 Flare11/RASM problem The content of the RASM file has been partly changed, and caused us a few problems with the rd_rasm routine which is called by op_first_guess. Jim Lemen came to the rescue, and fixed the problem for us (thanks). Also, there was a problem related to flare11 (it would be so nice if this was swapped with a newer machine!) - the error appeared to be due to flare11 not recognising the device (?)(/dev/tty). 3.5 SXT table problems In pass 950104-1342, the SXT table was uploaded, and the check was not done between the ground table and satellite table before SXT CTL AUT command was given. There were no after-effects.... 3.6 Sirius problems There was a problem (maybe!) in the software used to produce the temporary Sirius database hence the data was not available. Kato-san is checking the problem... 4. DSN communications--------------------------------------------------------- The final (week 02), preliminary (week 03) and strawman (week 04) all arrived on Friday 6-Jan. 5.
